Technicolor Plaid Silk




Ironing is such a bitch. This silk scarf was rolled into the size of a pea when I took it out. It makes it worse that I have no ironing board and a cheap ass travel iron. I know there are women out there who find immense personal fulfillment in ironing, and goody for them (seriously, google "I love to iron" if you want to read lots of young fundementalist christian wife-blogs- which is weird, I would think their husbands would blog for them- and read more about lavender water and the pleasures of ironing.) I hate doing it. It reminds me of learning to iron so I could iron my own white blouses for Catholic school. Always white. We could wear yellow or light blue with our plaid skirt and blazer, but they did not match the outfit, so always white. I still hate ironing.

This is a fantastically bright plaid which can be worn as a wrap on a cool summer/spring evening with a sleeveless dress, or over an ugly piece of outerwear, because who would notice what is under this bright banner of silk?

48" x 12" Orange, blue, nile green, purples, plaid Vera scarf! Rectangle has hand rolled nile green edge, edged in orange. Vera signed in white, no ladybug.
